Book Description
The inspiration for this novel, I believe, has come from the never-ending interest in our kangaroos and saltwater crocodiles from people near and far. These two appear to attract more interest than most of our other animals. I heard on the radio that there was a need for more childrens books. This story reflects some of my loves: animals, the challenges of life, boiled fruit cake, the outback, and the interaction that can be achieved between animals and humans.

Book Description
This book is based on a story told by George Mung Mung Lirrmiyarri, of the Kija people, to Aboriginal people living in Warmun (Turkey Creek), Western Australia. The illustrations are adapted from their original paintings of the story. Hector Jandany and George Dingmarie of the Kija Language Group said, 'We have to keep this language which we got from our old people who have passed away. We don't want to lose it. The younger generation has to carry on the language that they learn from us.'

Book Description
What would you do if you discovered your Christmas tree was an alien from another planet? Zorn was once a vibrant, colorful planet but now it is dying. Empress Eigna knows she must find another home for her subjects and it must be one with plenty of carbon dioxide, which Zornians need to survive. Earth appears to be the perfect relocation option; however, there are issues with the way humans treat each other. How will they ever accept aliens immigrating from another planet? While her military advisor is all for exterminating the entire human race, others push for a more peaceful resolution. Searching for answers, the empress sends Ybbuc, her most trusted intelligence agent, to Earth. He is to learn about humans and how Zornians can adapt to life on Earth. After visiting several locations, and having encounters with both people and animals, Ybbuc feels the task is almost impossible. Eventually he travels to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, the Christmas City, where he encounters a loving Christian family. He is forced to use his transformation powers to turn himself into a blue spruce tree to avoid being discovered as an alien. In this form, he is able to observe the family and is taken on a journey of enlightenment through their faith and love. Then, on that snowy Christmas Eve in the small city of Bethlehem, Ybbuc learns the true meaning of Christmas and the solution for his species' survival.
